Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Research into homosexuality exemplifies both the promise and the danger of science applied to human nature. LeVay argues that the question of causation should not be the crucial issue in the gay-rights debate, but that science does have an important contribution to make. It can help to demonstrate that the traditional and still prevalent view of homosexuality--as a mere set of behaviors that anyone might show--is inadequate, and that gays and lesbians are in a real sense a distinct group of people within the larger society with a priviledged insight into their own natures. Included are endnotes and an index. This copy is clean and solid. Codice articolo 001591
